Five Jersey Shore beaches were under advisories for high levels of fecal bacteria on July 2, as reported by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. Fecal bacteria, or enterococci, found in the water samples at these beaches can indicate the presence of other harmful microbes, viruses, or parasites. Swimming in such contaminated water can lead to various health issues. The advisories were issued for Beachwood's western beach, Long Beach Township's Stockton Avenue bay front beach, Ship Bottom's 14th Street bay front beach, Stafford's Jennifer Lane bay beach, and Atlantic City's Arkansas Avenue beach.
